Agreed, "shooting a bit loose and fast" to quote Pete - I like it! :D If you don't like it maybe this isn't the channel for you, eh? Keep up the great work, Pete! ~ Patreon supporter
I like the casual style videos Pete! I don't miss fancier editing and whatnot. I'd rather see more volume of content on more everyday sorts of tasks with an occasional rope cut test. I'm enjoying the laid back pace. And the omelettes...
For this size of knife, the tek lock's value is in rotating it 90 degrees and doing scout-back or scout-front-cross-draw. Then you can sit down without jamming the knife on the seat. Mid-size companion knives are great in scout style.
I like this style of video where you're just running around living your life with knives. I don't know you, but videos like this are like phone calls from an old friend.
Pete, I'm so glad your channel exists! It's so relaxing to watch your videos, I enjoy your filming and your commentary is interesting and entertaining. Also, you actually do stuff with your knives that feels relatable. I can watch your videos without having to cringe since you are not telling us any made-up survival anecdotes! Thank you!
I like this style of videos. The skits are fun, but the way you showed what you were using the knife for and explained your conclusions worked very well for me.
Really love your meticulous storage solutions. Fixed blades in 1 drawer, folders in another. We know your top tier are resting in a place of honor probably in your bedroom if Tree approved.
I wouldn't say brand name works against this these days. I've owned several QSPs in the last year or two and i'm still impressed on the quality. My Penquin has maintained a razor sharp edge with minimal maintenance. Dinged it several times thinking it would chip, no damage on just D2 steel. $30 knife holds up better than others I have that cost 10 times as much. In fact brand name is exactly why I'm looking at the Bison.
I have always enjoyed how you incorporate your everyday life into your videos. Your new location is great. The new style of video works great. I have a farm in Tennessee. I love living out in the country. I am a knife nut through and through. Keep up the good work!
Flip the tech lock 90 degrees and take off the loop and it carries really nicely horizontally. To me it feels a lot like a nicer small camp knife/edc fixed blade. This is probably the largest fixed blade I'd carry for edc. Anything past this is too big and bulky. Got a nice fine edge for kitchen work or just light ordinary cutting and camp stuff like you'd use a Mora for but just a touch nicer and better looking. Admittedly there's a whole lot of options in that size range and price spanning from Mora, a bunch of Kabar's, the small Beckers, Lionsteel, Bark River, LT Wright, Cold Steel, Fallkniven, etc. But I actually feel like the commitment to not being a bigger do all knife is probably the most interesting thing about this in the current market. Because you don't have the extra handle flopping around taking up space "so you can chop with it" and it isn't "super thick and chunky to do your prying and baton through a tree" it's light and balanced where you want it for control over the knife for fine work and the handle is really comfortable for normal use.
Hi Cedric, it is nice to see, there are also knife people use their survival or hunting knives in the kitchen. Every weekend if I decide to cook some meal for my family. The first thing is step over to my show case and pick up suitable knife. It is always a pleasure.
That's the Penquin, not the Parrot. The Penquin is a budget beast! The Parrot's not bad either. QSP is putting out some good quality and well designed products the last year or so. Im gonna go dig my Parrot out of one of my go-bags and play with it now. I forgot about that guy til you fucked up the name on the awesome Penquin. Love the channel and keep doing you! Good stuff!
You are the only knife guy I would even bother watching a video about a knife so boring from. You somehow made a knife as dull as study hall entertaining.
Your from the hip style is good with me. As long as you throw in a knife lab when you feel so inclined & give us that trademark Pete off-beat humor. BTW good PSA even tho I'm American.
Great vid! I'm not a knife collector. I watch your videos for the entertainment value, and to see what life is like in Australia. Coincidentally...right before I watched your video I was reading the news about some guy in Australia burning down half of the continent by starting a palm frond bonfire. Coincidence??????? Stay healthy Pete and keep your hose handy!
Hey there... the Benchmade Azeria has a major flaw, at least the ones they produced originally branded H&K named "Plan D". They screwed the scales into one another. Instead of using a male screw and a female screw or just screw into the knife's handle they just screwed into the FRN. When you drop the knife on the handle the screws break out of the FRN. It happened to me the first time I did drop it, and I've read comments on the old H&K Plan D that this happened to other people aswell. I wonder if they improved the handle construction when they started to produce these knives branded as actual Benchmade's named Azeria... but I would be suprised! Kind of a bummer for a knife originally designed as a self defensive tool. The design otherwise is really functional as an EDC apart from food prep on a flat surface cause of the blades angle. I really loved mine, even with out the scales it was perfectly functional and the carry profile got alot thinner too. I hope they fix the handle construction and move to another ultra stainless like Vanax, LC200N (or who knows CPM MagnaCut may be the perfect option, as the N680 they use doesn't deliver the edge stability this fine blade and delicate tip would need at least not the way they heat treated and/or grinded it back in the days... my tip chipped of the first time I put some lateral pressure on it...) Long story short;) a great design that would be worthy of a better built quality!
Always crazy to me how you don't have like 10x the subs given how many of your vids I enjoy and watch consistently. But then I remember, real knife people are a pretty small, awesome, weird community. Which is fine by me.
Knife review and cooking show in one video, sweet!! :) Suggestion: put some butter in the pan as a tasty lubricant and the omelette will slide right out. Also, I liked the knife well enough to order one. lol
Nice review! Although it’s not exactly a “budget” knife, the QSP Puffin is quite a nice framelock folder. Also, a wrist lanyard helps “lengthen” a short handle when chopping.
After so many years I keep on enjoying your vids and always look for them as a reference. Thanks for the work put in Pete, even though you get bitten by the palm tree branch and get angry at it🤣🤦♂️👌👍😊
I'd be curious to compare this to the Steel Will Roamer R315 in 9Cr18MoV. I picked up an R315 a few months back, and it's really quite nice for a "budget" design.
Thinking about replacing my Esee 4 with the Bison for backpacking. I have a heavier BK2 for camping tasks but appreciate a knife that’s more stainless so I don’t have to carry a folder. Thoughts? Worth it?
Yes, I like the more casual filming. Especially if that means we get vids more often. Also, I'm sure you have covered this but what do you do with all the cut sisal? That elastic ceramic left a huge pile.
Batonning kindling with knives instead of axe, on the regular, for home heating? Good show my friend, thank you. I very rarely baton kindling wood with knives but i love it anyway :D
I for sure haven't considered it. F4L - folders for life ✊ P.S. I like your casual film style. Variety is the spice of life. Full on production Uncle Randy Knives of Old stuff is good too 👍🏻
Hey Pete, no one has left any comments yet criticizing the lack of a pich grip on that food prep...... must be a maturing/ more tolerant audience 🤣. Nice vid and I too have a evil spider tree growing in my garden, I'm going to try some of your techniques out on it too
All I want to know is, when will you do a review of that stove top? I could do some serious cooking on that baby. The garden is awesome and those chives were looking good. Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲
sweet, i'd love to have a butt-tonne of tomatoes ripening in the yard. i've always found homegrown tomatoes completely different to store-bought. like, once you've had a homegrown you no longer have difficulty mentally classifying them as fruits.
Video review in three weeks time; "Cedric Ada Gear and Outdoors vs Killer Tomato's". In this episode watch as killer tomato's get hacked to pieces as they try to dominate the world of UA-cam gear reviews. Will the sharpest blades be enough to stop the red menace? How will the blade edges hold up? Will Bricky stop by and squash a couple? Wait and see!!!
Every qsp knife I’ve owned has exceeded my expectations. I like them as a company. They really are putting out quality products for a good price.
the neckmuk is a must have
Definitely like more casual style of filming. I wouldn't mind you doing it more often, or even exclusively
Agreed, "shooting a bit loose and fast" to quote Pete - I like it! :D If you don't like it maybe this isn't the channel for you, eh? Keep up the great work, Pete!

this is giving me ideas for some casual style videos on subjects I know a lot about.
I like the casual style videos Pete! I don't miss fancier editing and whatnot. I'd rather see more volume of content on more everyday sorts of tasks with an occasional rope cut test. I'm enjoying the laid back pace. And the omelettes...
Also, that video of the fire was strangely satisfying.
Contrarian here. I need to know how the fancy wars conclude.
This is actually one of your better knife reviews in my opinion. I would love to see more reviews like this.
For this size of knife, the tek lock's value is in rotating it 90 degrees and doing scout-back or scout-front-cross-draw. Then you can sit down without jamming the knife on the seat. Mid-size companion knives are great in scout style.
I like this style of video where you're just running around living your life with knives. I don't know you, but videos like this are like phone calls from an old friend.
I was admiring the tank garden in your last video. Pretty impressive growth. This review style is pretty cool too. Nice and laid back.
Pete, I'm so glad your channel exists! It's so relaxing to watch your videos, I enjoy your filming and your commentary is interesting and entertaining. Also, you actually do stuff with your knives that feels relatable. I can watch your videos without having to cringe since you are not telling us any made-up survival anecdotes! Thank you!
Love this blade. Had zero issues with it. The denim micarta is the best micarta I have ever had. Can 100 % recomend this beauty!
I like this style of videos. The skits are fun, but the way you showed what you were using the knife for and explained your conclusions worked very well for me.
I totally enjoy the casual videos for the knife reviewing. Love the super artsy vids most.
Here for the artsy movies too... the rest is good too but nothing beats Petes artsy movies.
Really love your meticulous storage solutions. Fixed blades in 1 drawer, folders in another. We know your top tier are resting in a place of honor probably in your bedroom if Tree approved.
Yeah, low hassle vids are fine mate, but don't let yourself get too crazy with it, your funny as fuck intro skits are one of the reasons I subscribed!
I’m used to American reviews. I appreciate this. Subscribed. Thanks brother

Really like the more casual style, as well as the things you show us around the farm!

Did not expect the Street Fighter line but really loved it.
You can turn the belt clip on those sheaths with just a few screws. Then it goes horizontal (with your belt) and doesn't dig into your ribcage

they generally are my sharpest and nicest knives so often I bring em eith me indoors
As much as I love your normal review style I think the more casual stuff is fun as well
I like this format. Nice. Most important: you do you Pete 👍
Just ordered one, simply because you said it was good Pete. Love your channel. 🤗
Personally would love more videos like this, to better understand your land and lifestyle. Sort of like Wranglestar, but more relaxed.
To be honest I prefer these more casual style videos!!! Nice to hear they are a bit earlier!!
Long as you are making content, and you are happy pete, you make vids however you want or can.
That's the Penquin, not the Parrot. The Penquin is a budget beast! The Parrot's not bad either. QSP is putting out some good quality and well designed products the last year or so.

@Strangely Brown they have them with s35, an exclusive from some dealer, not sure which one.
@Strangely Brown knivesplus...$60.
@Strangely Brown try the Hawk, it's not often talked about but it's phenomenal. Same with the Pelican and Puffin
@Strangely Brown it’s also done with a 154CM blade with titanium handles on ceramic ball bearings if you like that as well.
you need a small woodchipper for the palm waste, then you can use it for gardening, probably safer considering how dry it is in your area!
Style: good.
Music: good.
Knife: good.
Life: good.
Casual is good because your editing is good.
This one has been on my list for a little while, I appreciate your thoughts on it. I already have the qsp workaholic and I love it
I like this format just fine! And I'm always happy to see a new vid from you :D
Enjoyed the video, Pete. Thanks for keeping the balance as always.
THE Omlette!!! 🤗 This is my favorite breakfast now! Made it several times, learned it from Pete! 😀

Long story short;) a great design that would be worthy of a better built quality!
Thanks for adding a different perspective to the American libertarians in the knife community. No matter what, we can all agree on knives!
Been bingin on yor videos lately. Always good stuff, i like fixed blades lately.
I enjoy the casual video style!
i love the final fantasy music. definitely elevates the content
I enjoy this version of filming more!
Cool knife. A beauty. Very handy.
Always crazy to me how you don't have like 10x the subs given how many of your vids I enjoy and watch consistently. But then I remember, real knife people are a pretty small, awesome, weird community. Which is fine by me.

Penguin!
Yes! Not parrot.
Nice review! Although it’s not exactly a “budget” knife, the QSP Puffin is quite a nice framelock folder. Also, a wrist lanyard helps “lengthen” a short handle when chopping.
I don't understand how I have Netflix and Amazon video and I'm sat here rapt watching an Australian make a omelette.
Pete if that's where your spleen was you'd be pushing up daisy's 😆
The handle is a tad short, but I think it's a nice option if you're on a budget. Quite versatile imo.
The blade is apparently better ground than your average Bark River
Where are you getting this music from my friend I love it especially cause I have never heard it before I love fresh music and great video🤓🦉
Have you not thought of getting a mulcher? Turn that green waste into mulch that you can use!
That is certainly different than watching a bunch of rope get cut. For that knife filming it the way you did worked fine.
Love your videos, and this style is really good. Would love more like this
I love the QSP Penguin.
Really well thought out. Excellent work.
longer handle in the new Bison 2, which solves your correct complaint
After so many years I keep on enjoying your vids and always look for them as a reference. Thanks for the work put in Pete, even though you get bitten by the palm tree branch and get angry at it🤣🤦♂️👌👍😊
I'd be curious to compare this to the Steel Will Roamer R315 in 9Cr18MoV. I picked up an R315 a few months back, and it's really quite nice for a "budget" design.
I’m fine with this style of filming - as long as you keep up with the sweet soundtracks it’s all good. :)
Thinking about replacing my Esee 4 with the Bison for backpacking. I have a heavier BK2 for camping tasks but appreciate a knife that’s more stainless so I don’t have to carry a folder. Thoughts? Worth it?
Last
Reminds me of a lion steel.
Yes, I like the more casual filming. Especially if that means we get vids more often. Also, I'm sure you have covered this but what do you do with all the cut sisal? That elastic ceramic left a huge pile.
im currently trying it out as a base layer in the chicken coop with possible compost potential
Batonning kindling with knives instead of axe, on the regular, for home heating? Good show my friend, thank you. I very rarely baton kindling wood with knives but i love it anyway :D
0:35 TRC Apocalypse handle peeking
Yeah man keep doing it this way for sure
A little Raul Julia/Street Fighter love to close, nice!
I for sure haven't considered it.
F4L - folders for life ✊
P.S. I like your casual film style. Variety is the spice of life. Full on production Uncle Randy Knives of Old stuff is good too 👍🏻
Man the music you played whilst cooking sounds like 70's porn music. Love it.
This video was good. I enjoy your other videos with the funny sketches and stuff as well. If this style equals more videos though then awesome.
I wonder if the chickens think those palm fronds are giant feathers?
It reminds me of a fixed blade version of the QSP Gannet.
Hey Pete, no one has left any comments yet criticizing the lack of a pich grip on that food prep...... must be a maturing/ more tolerant audience 🤣. Nice vid and I too have a evil spider tree growing in my garden, I'm going to try some of your techniques out on it too
All I want to know is, when will you do a review of that stove top?
I could do some serious cooking on that baby.
The garden is awesome and those chives were looking good.
Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲
More of these videos Pete!
Nice vid man and music is always nice.
Any aliexpress or other links for those QSP knives?
sweet, i'd love to have a butt-tonne of tomatoes ripening in the yard. i've always found homegrown tomatoes completely different to store-bought. like, once you've had a homegrown you no longer have difficulty mentally classifying them as fruits.
What's the song you used around the 17 minute mark? It grooves
Even the don’t tread on me guys might agree with your take on fires. It’s a property rights issue.
The hardest part of making eggs is taking it out of the pan without fucking it up lol
Bring back Bricky.
Not a bad stainless camp knife
13:00 I came here for "Legit feathersticks"
ya but where are the dancing women and free beer -- Cheers Pete
A lot of outdoor knives remind me of the USN Mk1 knife.
Horizontal Carry is always best! :)
How much work is it to cut down and remove the palm stump? Perhaps you could grow a more desirable tree that will do what you want?
Or just composting the the palm leaves with the chicken poop?

I don’t mind this style of video at all, maybe mix them up a bit?
As usual, great review. You certainly are not the greatest chef, but good on you to try anyway...
Awesome video
Like the casual alot
Casual is good, then occasionally melt brains
Like the casual style better! Is the folder a parrot or penguin?
Mrs Palm Tree needs to go on a a hot date with Mr Chainsaw.
